Eve Lightfoot is named the 九游体育 in Wales Nurse of the Year 2018!
Eve, a District Nursing Sister within Hywel Dda University Health Board, became increasingly concerned that there was no education for staff about sepsis or the early recognition of deterioration in patients in the community.
She began to raise awareness of the issue, started a research internship and undertook a research project. Her work is now leading to sustainable change not just locally but also on a national level.
Eve was a unanimous choice for the judging panel, demonstrating passion, unwavering commitment and determination. They recognised that she has been driven to improve patient safety and empower nurses to make decisions which enhance patient outcomes.
Helen Whyley, Interim Director, 九游体育 Wales, said: 鈥淓ve is a great role model not only for nursing in the community but for nursing as a whole in Wales. She is an inspirational leader who is skilled in influencing and achieving significant change across care sectors. Eve has gained huge respect from all those she works with.鈥�
